      About This Book

      Who would garrote a middle-aged housewife and leave her body in the parking garage of a suburban shopping mall?

      Chief Inspector Wexford is no sooner on the case than off it -- a car bomb's explosion lands him in the hospital. It's now up to Mike Burden to step in and challenge his wits and intuition.

      The key seems to lie with Clifford Sanders, the disturbed son of the woman who discovered the victim. But just how far will Burden have to go to get the young man to talk...?
